Boston University Professor Ibram Kendi’s Center for Antiracist Research appears to have fired mostly racial minorities as part of its recent restructuring, according to a College Fix analysis of the layoffs.
The review found there are likely four black employees, four Hispanics, two Indians, one Asian, and one Middle Eastern employee who are no longer employed by the antiracist center due to layoffs.
One reason may be that the center was more inclined to hire non-white staff from the beginning.
But according to Kendi, any policy that results in racial disparities flows from and is proof of racism.
“A racist policy yields racial disparities,” Kendi previously stated in The New York Times. “An anti-racist policy reduces or eliminates racial disparities.”
“A racist policy is any measure that produces or sustains racial inequity between racial groups,” Kendi also wrote in his book, “How to Be an Antiracist.”

No pale, stale males on his staff to begin with.
Jeesh!
Hilarious. Their racism has come home to roost.
Because they are getting rid of AA hires who likely were underperforming, and increasing the white workload, their total output and production will only improve.
I can’t imagine any white person being hired in the first place
It would be like applying for a Capo job at Auschwitz
He's absolutely right. And when you use affirmative action i.e.racist policies you will indeed yield racial disparities.
But whatever. Double Down on your DIE environment and add to and increase the racism.
Did they deserve to be fired? Was their performance terrible? likely so- they weren’t fired because of skin color but for performance issues or behavioral issues- it is not against the law to fire for those issues- but the left are really trying top make it illegal to do so if the person is anything but pasty white
Oh reeeeeeally?
Looks like "Diversity, Inclusion, Equity" is racist.
That checks out.
Has he made pro-Arab/Hamas/Pali statements? Ownership of those two might not like that.
True. At some point each employee has to start and continue producing so that they are worth more to the company than the money and benefits being paid.
Everyone gets rid of the most useless employees first when tightening the belt.
“Why are they going after the formally untouchable?”
Because he’s caught up in a scandal, and so they want to distance themselves from him. He got caught with his hand in the cookie jar, having got $40 million in grants, but produced no research or anything else tangible, and his disgruntled ex-staffers reporting he was using the funds for personal stuff instead of what he was supposed to be using it for.
I’ll be honest, I’ve avoided them for a couple decades plus at this point.
